Revelation 16 is the sixteenth chapter of the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book is traditionally attributed to John the Apostle,[1][2] but the precise identity of the author remains a point of academic debate.[3] This chapter describes the seven bowls, vials[4] or phials[5] of God's wrath,[6] poured out on the wicked and the followers of the Antichrist after the sounding of the seven trumpets,[7] on the command of "a loud voice from the temple" heard by the author.[8]
